System Designer - AV & Integrated Solutions

• Work closely with Application Support engineers across all disciplines to ensure early-stage designs benefit from delivery experience and are subject to proportionate validation prior to submission.
• Facilitate shared ownership of design intent, reducing handover risk and supporting continuity from initial concept through to project delivery.

• Operate within established technical frameworks and solution architectures, escalating deviations or high-risk decisions to the Lead Applications Engineer & Solutions Architect for review.
• Maintain consistency and quality across all pre-sales outputs, with particular diligence for compliance-driven systems such as life-safety and PAVA.

• Support structured handover into project delivery, providing clear documentation of design intent, assumptions, and identified constraints for Application Support engineers responsible for implementation.
• Collaborate with delivery engineers during early project stages to refine designs, ensuring continuity without duplicating ownership or bypassing detailed design validation.

• Contribute to pre-sales standards, templates, and best-practice development, sharing learning from delivery and service feedback to improve future bids.
• Maintain awareness of emerging AV technologies and support alignment between pre-sales activity and delivery capability. Undertake any other duties as reasonably requested.

• Any other reasonable ad-hoc requests as required by your manager.
